The Scottish Costal Clean Up team are just back from a very busy weekend on the Isle of Skye. They returned to a familiar stretch of coastline, a place that was visited last year and they have already moved 6 tonnes worth of marine litter from it. A hardworking team of volunteers, including residents, Team Otter (an environment group for children) and members of a kayaking club, all worked together to remove two skip loads worth of rubbish, from two beaches. These beaches are not often visited by people, and everything found on them had been washed in. It is estimated that at least 90% of it is from the fishing industry. By removing plastic pollution from these areas, they are helping to protect local wildlife and from debris breaking down into microplastics.
